last i heard bolts are torqued to a spec that is pretty much the same for anything depending on the size-diameter- of the bolt regardless of where it's going. at least i've seen tables to that effect. just cant remember if it was in a 1955 service manual or not. but now on engine guts' bolts, like rod bolts esp., they are using a stretch gauge. i have never ever torqued those bolts youre talking about and havent had an engine fall out yet.

Fatslapper...I hate to disagree but there are torque specs for every bolt on every engine. I will look in one of my manuals later today. OK I did a quick search and found this on a Buick 350 Right here and it shows the mount to the block is 63 foot-lbs. which would be the same for a Chebby
